Hi 

Firstly I want to say I just discovered K stars and EKOS after a few years off from Astro photography and it is simply amazing ! 

I have and Takahashi EM200 Temma 2 mount and am in the southern hemisphere,  When doing a polar alignment the mount slews in the wrong way, similarly to this issue on the forum
I have simulated  being in the north and  southern hemispheres and choosing west and east and the mount always slews in the wrong direction, so the issues does not seem to be which hemesphere the mount is in.

I also toggled the mount reverse options in the "mount control" dialog but this has no effect. 

Below are the lo files for the simulations and an extract form the error. 

And help would be appreciated.
